Lee to Strauss,
FOUR,
strays a touch down leg and the batsman is quickly on to that one, simply timing it away off his toes through midwicket and that's a top shot

fabulous shot, he really waited for that one. Again Warne gives Cook too much width, too short, and Cook cuts it hard in front of square for four.
